For a while, it seemed like there was no hope, that the universe was imploding. Sense 8 even released a further confirmation on their Tumblr, emphasising that they’d tried their best to renew for a season 3 but Netflix just couldn’t make it happen.

Show co-creator Lana Wachowski has said that the outpour of love and support from fans has forced a two hour series finale to be in the works. Wachowski bravely opened up about the effect the cancellation had on her; she had worked incredibly hard on the show, was proud of it, and the global dismay of its cancellation was met by her own depression.

Netflix are also happy to appease fans, promptly retweeting the touching letter and releasing this celebratory tweet, accompanied with the hashtag #WeAreTheGlobalCluster.
